ELEVEN RULES THAT SCHOOL DOESN'T TEACH

 

Charles Sykes is the author who recently gave high school and college

graduates a list of eleven things they did not learn in school. In his

book,he talks about how feel-good, politically correct teaching has created

a

generation of kids with no concept of reality and set them up for failure

in the real world.

 

Rule 1: Life is not fair; get used to it.

 

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect

you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

 

Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high

school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn

both.

 

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

 

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents

had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

 

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about

your mistakes. Learn from them.

 

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't boring as they are now.

They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and

listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the

rainforest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try cleaning the

closet in your own room.

 

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has

not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you

as many times as you want to get the right answer. This, of course,

doesn't

bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

 

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off, and

very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on

your own time.

 

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life, people actually have

to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

 

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
